The perfect fried egg, with a fully set, opaque white and a rich, runny yolk, may seem elusive, but it’s actually not that difficult to achieve. You just need a little help from your oven.

To take your morning egg to this perfectly-cooked place, just follow this easy tip from brunch queen Jessica Koslow: fry until the white just begins to set (aka “turn white”) and pop the whole thing into an oven set to 350 for about a minute, until the whites are cooked through. Slide your masterpiece out of the pan and onto toast, rice bowls, burgers, or anything else that a perfectly cooked fried egg would improve. (Note: if you have not been to Sqirl, Koslow’s non-traditional breakfast eatery in Los Angeles, you must make it a point if you find yourself in the neighborhood. The Sorrel Pesto Rice Bowl is unreal.)
